[ALSC-Forum] Consensus

[DannyYounger]

Esther,

Could you elaborate further on your comment that "I think it's time for the 
ALSC to stop looking for an illusory consensus to present to the board"...

The ALSC was chartered to forge a consensus on the best method for 
representing the world's Internet users as individuals ("At-Large Members") 
within ICANN.  That was your task.  At this late date, are you now claiming 
that the Committee has no consensus to report?

When an issue is under consideration for a lengthy period of time, community 
consensus can usually be determined by a review of the comments tendered on 
the public record.  The public record of comments presented to your Committee 
amply demonstrates that the community expects nothing less than the nine 
At-Large Directors promised.  If you have evidence to the contrary, let me 
humbly request that such be documented...  otherwise, please present to the 
Board this  consensus view of the community (even if it is at odds with the 
recommendation of the Committee).  Anything less would be disingenuous.
